Now this is similar to what I recently built but seeing as the new x38 chipset is coming soon Ive substituted this in for this new build and changed the gfx card and psu.

Does this seem sensible given the cost ? As i understand it the buyer will be able to swap in one of the new Intel CPUs when they come out on this board and just add another 2GB of ram later on if needed ?

There is no OS listed as he already owns a copy of Windows Vista
 
Change the PSU to the Corsair 620W, far cheaper and very reliable. Also change the OC2 version of the GTX to the OC1 version. Same hardware, just different clocks which is'nt worth the extra pennies! :cool:

You planning to go SLI with the GTX's??
 
i wouldnt say that is the best motherboard at this moment in time.

its not even out yet and very expensive and not even DDR3
 
Ok so assuming hes happy to wait it would be better to wait for the x38 chipset to mature slightly, and get one with DDR 3 support.

Wasnt planning on SLi the GTXs no.
